Where is the reversing radar module located in the Golf 6?

The reversing radar module of the Golf 6 is generally installed inside the vehicle's trunk. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The 6th generation Golf abandoned Volkswagen's family-style "large U-shaped front grille," with the entire front design more reminiscent of the Volkswagen Scirocco. The side profile of the body resembles the domestically produced 4th generation Golf, with the use of waistline accents making the side view of the new model appear more slender. 2. The Golf 6 was launched with 1.4TSI and 1.6L engines, delivering a maximum power of 96kW and a maximum torque of 220N-m, achieving a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 9.6 seconds. The engine utilizes direct injection technology, effectively improving fuel economy.
When dealing with such issues, I often encounter Golf 6 owners who are confused about the location of the radar module. The module is usually hidden behind the right-side trim panel in the luggage compartment, near the rear bumper area. This location is reasonably designed for easy connection to the radar sensors on the bumper and the vehicle's internal systems. To locate it, lift the carpet in the luggage compartment, and you will see a black plastic panel secured with clips. Carefully pry open the clips with a plastic pry tool to reveal the module. Before disassembly, ensure the vehicle is turned off and the battery's negative terminal is disconnected to prevent the risk of electric shock. If the radar malfunctions, it could be due to a loose module connection or a blown fuse. The Golf 6's radar system is quite reliable, but module aging after several years is a common issue; regular checks can extend its lifespan. Avoid using excessive force when prying, as the clips are prone to breaking.
